House without a garden

May 5, 2023|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2023 - Winner, Czech Republic, Residential – houses|

The basic question was clear. How to sensitively plant a family house on a small, sloping, and atypical plot of land in a dense village development?

House of Chambers

May 5, 2023|Architecture, Austria, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2023 - Winner, Residential – housing|

May 5, 2023|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2023 - Winner, Educational buildings, Slovenia|

The new building of the school center is located between the Homšnica stream and Celjska cesta.

Casa Tetra

May 3, 2023|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2023 - Winner, Brazil, Residential – houses|

Overcoming the considerable unevenness of the terrain, the tetra rests on the highest level of the intervention area, where the prism is divided between gardens that create a biophilic experience for the residents, and allow the architecture to breathe in these intervals. The volumes were designed in a way to protect the privacy of the house without making it formally opaque, but rather, directing it towards the main view,
